My make this week is a sample I made for the launch of the WINNIE SUGAR SPRINKLES SPRINGTIME BUNDLE on Create and Craft. It is one of my diorama/shadow box/theatre card thingys (not its real name) and if you want to see how I made it see below.

So here is my VERY simple tutorial (emphasis on the ‘simple’ AND the 'very').

Cut 2 pieces of printed card using a large die – approx. A5 in size.

 On the 2 shortest sides score both pieces of card at 1.5cm and 2.5cm. On your front panel fold the edges away from the patterned side (mountain then valley) and for the back panel fold towards the patterned side (valley then mountain).  Using a die to create an aperture in the front panel.

 Stick the edges together using wet glue, holding it together with teeny pegs (LOVE teeny pegs) until secure.

Stick on your bits and bobs and there you go!

Told you it was simple. J

Digi Choosday Challenge – Not a Card!

Good morning!  How are things?

It is Choosday which means it’s time for a new challenge over at DIGI CHOOSDAY and our theme this time is Not a Card!  As always we have a wonderful prize on offer for our lucky winner so check out the BLOG for details and as it is also DISCOUNT DAY you need to grab the code to get a MASSIVE reduction in the POLKADOODLES SHOP! But be quick, the offer is a 24 hour only deal!! 

This time I decided to decorate a little birdcage tea light holder that I picked up from Poundland! If only I could remember how much it was…lol!

Here is a little photo montage to show you how I got this finished result.

    Pic 1: I printed out lots of pre-coloured goodies from Nikky's fabulous new LILY LOVE BUG COLLECTION and decided what I wanted to use.

    Pic 2: I shaped and cut into some of the flowers and a love bug (which I didn't use J).

    Pic 3: I inked the edges of the hearts and flowers with Victorian Velvet DI.

    Pic 4: Taking some scrap paper and additional die-cut leaves I arranged my elements ….

    Pic 5: ……. sticking them to the paper when I was happy.

Then out came the glue gun and I stuck my arrangement (and an extra little love bug) to the birdcage, attaching a bow on top with a jump ring. Lastly I placed the cage on a circle of paper to give it a base.  And there you have it!

Could have been more comprehensive I grant you but the trick was remembering to take the photos during each stage. Needs work!! J

Ingredients:

All pre-coloured elements: LILY LOVE BUG COLLECTION

Dies/Punches: Sue Wilson ‘Faux Quilled Blooms’

Others: Gems - Pearl Drops - Ribbon - Birdcage Tea-light Holder

So don’t cage your enthusiasm and buzz over to THE BLOG and join in with our fab challenge.   And don’t forget to visit the STORE  as it’s….
